Periodismo deportivo en plataformas crecientes: análisis de las retransmisiones futbolísticas en Twitch a través de LaLiga Casters

Abstract

Twitch has established itself as the digital platform of reference for the distribution of audiovisual content. In this environment, traditional sports journalism has experienced a big growth. With the aim to delve into this trend, this research performs a case study about LaLiga Casters, an official series of game streaming led by Spanish content creator Ibai Llanos, through the analysis of its content and a survey of heavy users (n=50). From a practical point of view, it is possible to determine that these broadcasts have broad similarities with traditional radio and television programs. However, the first steps of a process of media convergence can be observed: while users of traditional sports broadcasts can follow the matches with a more casual tone at certain times, such as the post-game, Twitch streamers increase the journalistic quality of their content thanks to typical procedures of legacy media.
